| Résumé : | The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the leaves of Neolitsea foliosa var. caesia was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Nineteen components comprising 90.6% of the oil were identified. The major components of the oil were β-caryophyllene (35.3%), caryophyllene oxide (9.6%), elemol (8.2%) and β-elemene (6.1%). The oil showed moderate antibacterial activity against most of the tested bacteria. |
